Managing Writers is a practical guide to managing documentation projects in the real world. It is informal, but concise, using examples from the author's experience working with and managing technical writers. It looks beyond big project, big team methodologies to the issues faced by smaller, less well-funded projects. Managing Writers is for technical writers, both freelancers and employees, documentation managers, and managers in other disciplines who are responsible for documentation; anyone who may need to manage, full or part-time, a documentation project.

Die Boost C++ Bibliotheken ist eine Einführung in 50 Boost-Bibliotheken, die schnell erlernt und einfach eingesetzt werden können. Ziel des Buchs als auch der Boost-Bibliotheken ist es, Ihre Effizienz als C++-Entwickler zu verbessern und die Softwareentwicklung mit C++ zu vereinfachen. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Buchs liegt dabei auf Bibliotheken, die jedem C++-Entwickler und in jedem C++-Projekt von großem Nutzen sein können.Die Boost-Bibliotheken erweitern die C++-Standardbibliothek um zahlreiche nützliche Funktionen. Die Bibliotheken sind plattformunabhängig und können zum Beispiel unter Windows, Linux und Mac OS X eingesetzt werden. Die Boost-Bibliotheken sind in modernstem C++ entwickelt und haben einen exzellenten Ruf. So sind nicht nur zahlreiche Boost-Bibliotheken in die neue Version des C++-Standards C++11 aufgenommen worden. Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass weitere Bibliotheken in den Technical Report 2 aufgenommen werden. Dank der Boost-Bibliotheken ist es möglich, frühzeitig von Neuentwicklungen in C++ zu profitieren, bevor diese Teil des Standards werden.In diesem Buch werden Ihnen zum Beispiel Algorithmen vorgestellt, die es einfacher machen, Strings zu verarbeiten. Sie lernen, wie Sie plattformunabhängige Netzwerkanwendungen entwickeln und auf Dateien und Verzeichnisse zugreifen. Sie erfahren, wie Sie Objekte serialisieren, mit Datums- und Zeitangaben arbeiten, Graphen erstellen oder einfach nur mit Smartpointern dynamisch reservierte Objekte besser verwalten.Das Buch basiert auf der Boost-Version 1.48.0, die im November 2011 veröffentlicht wurde. Es stellt im Detail folgende 50 Bibliotheken vor: Any, Array, Asio, Assign, Bimap, Bind, Chrono, CircularBuffer, CompressedPair, Conversion, DateTime, DynamicBitset, Exception, Filesystem 3, Flyweight, Foreach, Format, Function, Graph, Integer, Interprocess, Intrusive, Lambda, MinMax, MultiArray, Multiindex, NumericConversion, Operators, Optional, PointerContainer, PropertyTree, Random, Ref, Regex, Serialization, Signals2, SmartPointers, Spirit 2.x, StringAlgorithms, Swap, System, Thread, Timer, Tokenizer, Tribool, Tuple, Unordered, Utility, Uuid und Variant.Das Buch stellt die Bibliotheken in mehr als 300 Beispielen vor. So bekommen Sie schnell einen Überblick über die Funktionen, die die verschiedenen Bibliotheken anbieten. Beispiele sind so kurz und knapp wie möglich und dennoch vollständig. Sie können jedes einzelne Beispiel kompilieren und ausführen.Das Buch ist keine Referenz zu den Boost-Bibliotheken. Es ergänzt, ersetzt aber nicht die offizielle Dokumentation der Bibliotheken.Das Buch wendet sich vorrangig an Entwickler von Anwendungssoftware. Es ist kein Forschungsbeitrag zu C++. So spielt zum Beispiel auch die Template-Metaprogrammierung in diesem Buch keine Rolle. Ziel des Buchs ist, Ihre alltägliche Arbeit als C++-Entwickler zu erleichtern. Wer die in diesem Buch vorgestellten 50 Boost-Bibliotheken kennt, kann schneller und bessere Software mit C++ entwickeln als Entwickler, die sich allein auf die C++-Standardbibliothek stützen.Für den Autor ist das Buch ein Erfolg, wenn Sie die 50 vorgestellten Boost-Bibliotheken mühelos erlernen und Ihre Produktivität als C++-Entwickler spürbar steigern können. Sowohl die Boost-Bibliotheken als auch dieses Buch sollen Ihre Arbeit erleichtern. So bleibt Ihnen dank der in diesem Buch vorgestellten Bibliotheken mehr Zeit, sich auf wichtige Funktionen oder andere Alleinstellungsmerkmale Ihrer Software zu konzentrieren, für die keine Bibliotheken existieren oder für die Sie keine Bibliotheken verwenden möchten.

Let Author-it guru Char James-Tanny teach you how to get the most from Author-it. Char has taught hundreds in her acclaimed classes, and now she has drawn from her extensive experience to create the definitive resource for learning Author-it. Whether you are new to Author-it or an experienced user, there is something here for you. If you are just starting out with Author-it, Learning Author-it will make the sometimes daunting learning curve for Author-it smoother and easier. You will learn how libraries work, how to wrap your head around Author-it's object-oriented structure, how to work with your content, and how to publish your output. If you are an experienced Author-it user, get a refresher from someone who uses Author-it like a technical writer. Char provides dozens of tips, helpful screenshots, and more than 150 tasks to help increase your efficiency (and lessen any frustration). And you'll find lots of tips and tricks that will improve your productivity. Char wrote and published Learning Author-it entirely with Author-it beta version 5.5, except for the front and back covers.

The Boost C++ Libraries introduces 38 general purpose Boost libraries. They should be of great use to C++ developers - no matter what industry they work in and no matter what software they create. The most important goal of the book is to increase your efficiency as a C++ developer. You will learn how to use the Boost libraries to write less code with fewer bugs and finish projects faster. And you will see how the Boost libraries help you write more concise code that is more easily maintained and more easily understood by others. Just as The Boost C++ Libraries focuses on increasing your efficiency, the author has tried hard to introduce the libraries as efficiently as possible so you can learn about the Boost libraries easily and quickly. Ideally you should be able to read the book in one or two days and understand each Boost library immediately, without having to read chapters a second time. Even if you have no experience with any of the 38 Boost libraries, once you have read the book, you should be able to decide which ones to use and know how to use them. Although the book is not a reference, you may want to look up chapters from time to time to recall details. It does not replace the official documentation for the Boost libraries; instead it complements it. The book comes with over 250 examples, which are short but complete - they can be built and run. The idea is to help you quickly understand what classes and functions the Boost libraries offer. Again, it's about getting you up to speed. The author considers the book a success if you find the 38 Boost libraries introduced easy to use, and if they help you become a more productive C++ developer. He also considers it a success if you go through the book with ease and find the explanations and examples crystal-clear. This book and the Boost libraries should make your life as a C++ developer easier. The Boost C++ Libraries introduces the following libraries from Boost 1.47.0, which was released in July 2011: <ul>
<li>Any </li>
<li>Array </li>
<li>Asio </li>
